Food Trip Friday #2 - Fresh Belgian Chocolates

When dh and I tried fresh Belgian chocolates for the first time in the Netherlands, boy, we were in chocolate heaven! The chocolates just melted in our mouths and it was the best we've ever had. No wonder Belgian chocolates are considered the best in the world, they sure know how to make them. When we came back from our vacation, we had a craving for these chocolates. I looked for it at Amazon and yes, they have it there! Yippee! These fresh chocolates are made by Leonidas, the same ones we had in Europe. It is imported from Belgium regularly (where they make it fresh with no preservatives so they only ship it FEDEX) and you can get it here in the US. I signed up for their email alerts so I get info whenever they have a Sale (the regular price is pretty steep plus I prefer to get stuff at a discount LOL). Their website: www.leonidas-chocolate.com

My Belgian Chocolates Arrived

I tasted these chocolates while on vacation in Belgium. I saw their stores everywhere we went. Leonidas chocolates - melt-in-your-mouth goodness. I've never tasted anything like it (well, maybe a close second would be Guylians Belgian chocolates). I found out that you can get it from Amazon and today I saw from the packing receipt that they have their own website here in the US. http://leonidas-chocolate.com/ They are having a sale this week. 1 lb for $22, that's a 50% off the regular price. You should check it out and order for yourself. So good...

Chocolates in Belgium

I've read a lot of articles stating that eating chocolates does not cause acne. What a relief! I love chocolates, specially dark chocolates. I don't eat it at a daily basis although I did for a short time while we were in Europe. The Belgian chocolates are just to die for. I still remember the first time I ate a piece, it just melted in my mouth. It's not because it's too hot and the chocolate melted, but there is something different. It might be because those pralines are freshly made unlike the ones that are available in any store that's a little hard. If you ever are in Belgium, you definitely need to try their chocolates.
